Wonderful: Iran's Working on a Nuclear Warhead, Despite our Intelligence Agencies' 2007 NIE Assurance They'd Entirely Abandoned Such Work

Well, we all knew it was horseshit at the time. They deliberately wrote a false report because they wanted to ensure Bush had no justification to take any action whatsoever at the time.

And now... Iran's going to get the bomb.

An International Atomic Energy Agency report expresses worry that Iran may be working on a nuclear warhead, despite a 2007 U.S. intelligence assessment that found the Islamic Republic stopped such work in 2003.

...

The report by the new head of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano, appears to raise greater concerns about Iran's capabilities than the assessments of his predecessor, Mohamed ElBaradei.

"Altogether, this raises concerns about the possible existence in Iran of past or current undisclosed activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile," said the report.

"These alleged activities consist of a number of projects and sub-projects, covering nuclear and missile related aspects, run by military related organizations."

The Associated Press indicated that the U.S. may go back and revise the intelligence assessment to determine if Iran resumed weapons work after the 2007 report.

I never usually post about this because none of this seems news to me. The Iranians are building a nuke, and that never changes, and Barack Obama's policy is "let's let them have the nuke and just hope for the best."

That's his policy.

And we're the "faith-based" ones, eh?
